We used to maneuver our boat with a front hitch which made it easy. BUT the tongue weight of our TT is close to 800 lbs, way more than our boat.
A hitch on the front (not the bumper) will not have the benefit of a weight distributing so the front of the truck will sag big time. We tried it once but never again.
There is a toy out there that will park your rig without a truck. That may ultimately be the answer for you. Check out www.powercaster.com. And no I don't benefit from that advice. Their ad is in the back of Trailer Life magazine.
